Hit the three southeast summits and the true summit. This is really fun if you enjoy a little route-finding. We found our way through the trees at 5am; basically you just head uphill through the woods until you reach treeline. From there just follow the ridge.

I climbed Massive (my second Colorado fourteener) right after summiting Mt Elbert taking advantage of great weather (no storms). Being an afternoon summit bid I was the last one to tag the lonely summit that day after a 4hr and 35min hike.

I had planned to Hike Peak 1 in the Tenmile Range on this day, but my sister's friend, Kate, had planned to do a 14er, so we climbed Massive. The weather was gorgeous: clear skies, not too windy, though it was pretty warm coming back down. It was a good, but very long day.
